Connect Your SAP BTP Trial Account to SAP S/4HANA for Content Consumption

1. Open the URL of your SAP Cloud Connector in Chrome.

   In your SAP S/4HANA trial CAL system, you can access it by connecting via Remote Desktop Connection. You can find the link to the SAP Cloud Connector and the initial password in the Welcome page that can be accessed via the Welcome Chrome icon on the desktop.

2. Enter your user name and password and click Login.

   

3. If required, enter a new password.

If this is the first time SAP Cloud Connector is started, you will see the Define Subaccount page. Otherwise, the Connector Overview page opens.

1. On the Connector Overview Page, click Add Subaccount to add your SAP BTP trial account.

   

   On the Define subaccount page, you can directly start entering the details of your SAP BTP trial.

   

2. To find the right information to enter into SAP Cloud Connector, access your SAP BTP trial in a second browser tab at https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com/trial/#/home/trial.

3. Click Enter trial, then click the trial tile.

   

4. You can find the required information to enter in the SAP Cloud Connector form on this Overview page. You can identify the region ID from the API end point on the Cloud Foundry Environment tab and find the subaccount ID on top of the page next to ID:.

   Copy the subaccount ID.

   

5. Go back to the SAP Cloud Connector tab. In the form, click the selector icon and select the region of your trial account. The ID of the selected region should start with cf.

   

6. Paste the subaccount ID from the SAP BTP cockpit Overview page into the Subaccount field.

7. Enter an easily identifiable display name, e.g. your SAP BTP trial’s subdomain into Display Name.
8. Enter the email address and password that you use to login to your SAP BTP trial into Login E-Mail and Password.
9. If you have attached another SAP Cloud Connector to your SAP BTP trial account already, enter any unique Location ID here to distinguish this SAP Cloud Connector from the existing one. Otherwise, you can leave this field empty.

10. Click Save.

You have connected your trial subaccount and can now see it in the subaccount dashboard. The status is still yellow, as backend access has not been configured yet.

In this step, you specify the on-premise backend system that your trial should be able to access.

1. You can see that the newly connected subaccount is already selected. Click Cloud To On-Premise in the menu on the left side of the screen.

   

2. Click the plus icon on the Access Control tab to add your on-premise system.

   

3. Keep the default ABAP System and click Next.

   

4. Select HTTPS as protocol for communication with your on-premise system and click Next.

   

5. Enter the internal host name of your SAP S/4HANA system and the internal port. If you are using a system from the SAP Cloud Appliance Library (CAL), you can find the IP address in the details of your instance. The port is 44300 in this case. Then click Next.

   

6. Enter s4hana as Virtual Host and 44300 as Virtual Port and click Next.

   You can choose any virtual host name and port here, but you need to reuse the ones defined here when creating a destination later.

   

7. In the next screen, just click Next.

   

   In a productive environment, we recommend that you use Principal Propagation or some other more advanced authentication concepts. In this tutorial, we just use the quickest and simplest approach for the sake of time.

8. Click Next.

   

9. If you want, enter a description. Then click Next.

10. In the summary, check the Check Internal Host checkbox and click Finish.

You now see a new entry in the mappings table. The icon in the Check Result column should be green, but the status is still grey, as no accessible resources have been defined yet.

1. In the lower table Resources of s4hana:44300 click the plus icon.

   

2. Enter / in URL Path.

   

   Usually you would define this in a more fine granular way, but since this is just a demo system, we will keep it simple.

3. Select Path And All Sub-Paths in Access Policy.

4. Click Save.

You now see a new entry in the lower table and the status of the entries in both tables should be green. SAP Cloud Connector configuration is now finished. You can leave the SAP Cloud Connector now.

The design-time destination is used to fetch the federated content from the content provider system during design-time.
